Employees are quitting instead of giving up working from home

I commuted 45 minutes each way to a prior job for a couple of years. Yes, I ate my breakfast in the car on the way there.

No, I didn't sleep, read, or do anything distracting on my drive because when you're in deer country, dawn and dusk are times to be vigilant and ready to brake or swerve if horribly necessary.

Still had $4100 of damage one January.

Commutes can be anywhere from 0 - ? percent multitaskable.

I guess most people commuting as long as an hour or more are doing it on a train where you can do all these things.

You conjure up the idea of a Victorian train carriage with plenty of space and waiters to serve you dinner etc.

Most people are experiencing a noisy packed out train car lit by bright fluorescence lamps, full of tired, irritated people, where they could easily be standing for half the trip.

Not exactly the ideal environment to dine or work on your hobbies…
